I was born and raised in France which makes it very difficult for me to give a good rating to “French bakeries”. Most of them are just pretend French bakeries and fall short of being half descent. This is not the case here! Rendezvous is a true authentic French bread bakery that has become my family routine for bread. I wish they were open on Sundays… great bread and great pastries. I never sat there to have breakfast or lunch but each time I come to buy my bread, I see the plates of food that look really appetizing.
To summarize, this is a real authentic French bakery that offers delicious breads and pastries. The people who work there are really nice and friendly.

The best croissants in Sarasota, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The owner/manager is French and so are the standards for any pastry they sell. We love buying their specialty cookies for different holidays and can’t wait to see their Valentine’s Day creations. The sourdough bread is of the finest quality and is a perfect alternative to the Bread Bandits’ loaves.

We were driving by on Siesta Drive and noticed this bakery. Am so glad we went in the lady that took care of us was friendly and welcoming. The chocolate croissants we had were one the best we ever had ! They were flaky with the right amount of chocolate just melt in your mouth. Highly recommend stopping in to try their pastries 🥐

I stopped by on Dec.20, (apparently customer appreciation day) and after paying 9$ for a simple cup of coffee and an almond croissant...the server went out of the store to fill me a cup of coffee from a coffee carafe that was outside on the table set for customers for free (as it was set for customer appreciation day) REALLY?! Needless o say I am not going back

If you’re looking for a slice of Parisian charm, this delightful little French bakery is the perfect find. From the moment you step inside, the smell of freshly baked bread envelops you, making it almost impossible to leave without picking up a loaf (or two). Their croissants are buttery and flaky, with a perfect crisp that shatters in your mouth, while the pain au chocolat is decadently filled with rich, smooth chocolate.
I stopped by for breakfast and had their quiche Lorraine, which was wonderfully creamy and well-seasoned, alongside a fresh salad. The bakery also serves lunch, and their sandwiches, crafted with house-made baguettes, are simply divine—light, crunchy on the outside, and soft within.
Their coffee is strong and pairs perfectly with any of their pastries. Prices are fair considering the quality, and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee and a pastry break. Will definitely be back!

Such a cute authentic French bakery with such yummy food and treats. I got a bacon and cheese omelette with a side salad and croissant - it was seriously so good and refreshing in that everything tasted fresh. It was just enough food to fill me up without making me feel like I overate. We got some fruit tarts to go and I can’t wait to try those later. We will 100% be back for more!!!

We just tried the apple tart and the blueberry almond tart tonight while at Waterside Food Trucks. Can’t wait to try something else! So good!
